Regenerative Futures with Children and Arts: The Radio Approach

  • Catarina Cadima

摘要

The “Regenerative futures with children and arts: the radio approach” is an activity with three main objectives: (i) to promote transformative learning by using arts and critical thinking to stimulate a radical reassessment of worldviews among students; (ii) to transform feelings of isolation and powerlessness into love, empowerment, communication, and community engagement; and (iii) to share the resulting meaningful messages or narratives of love for the planet on social media and radio, to inspire and empower others. Regenerative thinking argues that the world functions as a whole and that we cannot solve the ecological problem in isolation. Recognizing that the environmental, eco nomic, and social spheres are inseparable is essential. We can consume less, learn to care and appreciate, and strive for sustainable development. We need to find a new paradigm in which the problems arising from globalization, such as human rights and civil rights, gender equality, or the fight against racism and the right to work, are a priority. It is essential to transform the mindset of “ we can do nothing” into a sense of a regenerative future that we can create through small gestures of love, sharing, and belonging. In Lefebvre’s words: “Humanity only raises problems that it cansolve itself” (Lefebvre 2008: 141). The potential for meaningful learning comes from bringing individuals and communities together to share, discuss, and reflect on understandings of local and global social-ecological issues.
